MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th September, 2018) After the reinstatement of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), one of the most important steps will be the restoration of the rights of the Russian Athletics Federation (RAF), President of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Stanislav Pozdnyakov said Thursday.
Most members of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Executive Committee voted earlier on Thursday for the reinstatement of RUSADA following suspension in 2015 over violations of the World Anti-Doping Code.
"It is very important now to concentrate on the reinstatement of RAF, not everything depends on us, but RAF has already made serious progress in its revival," Pozdnyakov told journalists.
Pozdnyakov also said that he does not see any obstacles now to the reinstatement of the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC).
"Following the reinstatement of RUSADA, I see no obstacles to the reinstatement of the RPC. The situation with the RAF is more complicated, we need additional consultations on the declared conditions for the RAF reinstatement," he emphasized.
